Tuila'epa Sailele Malielegaoi told the Samoa Observer that the law gives the Minister of Justice, Fa'aolesa Katopau Ainu'ū, the authority to direct the movement of Court files.
The newspaper had asked why the Government had not acted in relation to Fa'aolesā's role in the removal of files.
An investigation was launched by the Public Service Commission after a ministry driver reported files had been removed and taken to the offices of the minister.
